Unscarred Anthem from Halo Shift by Filtrance

The close of a long watch settles over this final chapter, a quiet hum after the storm. Here, Maya and Rowan revive the original oath, not shouted, but whispered by a child-adult duet, almost a lullaby for the tired. The track develops from this soft start, gradually layering warm dulcimer chords and choral pads over a low-passed kick, creating a steady cradle. It’s about how resilience isn't always a roar; sometimes it's just the steady beat holding everything together, a deep concept explored in the quiet shift from raw struggle to collective exhale. That ventilator hiss from the album's opening, it returns here, not as a threat, but as a quiet bookend, sealing the arc and hinting at cycles yet to come.

Lyrics

Vent hiss returns, hushed grey.
Oath motif taps faint lay.

Halos hover cool brass.
Dulcimer threads soft glass.
Glove scent codes dusty node.
Graphs purr, the ward in mode.
If one line slips, we sway.
Unscarred remains our way.

Vigil rides quiet valves.
Breath-to-beat graft now calms.

Unscarred anthem rings clear.
Halos chord futures clear.
We hum, we heal, ascend.
Saved pulses lift my friend.

Shift clock whispers low eight.
IV jars hum, vibrate.
Your waveform inks my sleeve.
Each spared breath we now weave.

Hold this hush, grip the bliss.
One dropped note cracks the peace.

Unscarred anthem rings clear.
Halos chord futures clear.
We hum, we heal, ascend.
Ward lines turn gold again.
We hum, we heal, ascend.
We hum, we heal, ascend.

Oath hum now wraps shift closed.
Vent hush seeds next repose.
